This is my latest model
kit. It took me 2 weeks to build it. A resin cockpit and resin nose ware added to improve the detail level and accuracy of the kit
itself. The Italeri kit is really bad and the main problems are the fit of the vertical
stabilizers and fuselage and the fit of the intakes with the rest of the
fuselage. The exhausts need to be shortened for a couple of MM because the kit parts are too long and can ruin the overall looks of the
aircraft. I added some scratchbuilt pitots and IFF antennas out of hypodermic needles and guitar
strings.

The Lift Here decals that
were used had yellowed decal film, so I had to put those in my window for couple of weeks just to
lose the yellow tint of the decal
film. Other than that they performed great. The aircraft depicted is one used by the Yugoslav Air Force during the
19 99 NATO operations in Yugoslavia and was destroyed on the ground.
I painted the model kit with MM light ghost grey and MM Fulcrum grey green with couple of drops of flat black and
Revell 68 dark
green.
I hope you like my model.
